Intrahost evolution of envelope glycoprotein and OrfA sequences after experimental infection of cats with a molecular clone and a biological isolate of feline immunodeficiency virus.

Abstract excerpt

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a member of the genus Lentivirus and causes AIDS-like disease in its natural host, the cat. Like other lentiviruses, FIV displays a high degree of nucleotide sequence variability that is reflected in both the geographic distribution of the viruses and the different cat species that are infected. Although a lot of data on sequence variation at the population level is...
